December 11 - International Mountain Day

December 11 - International Mountain Day

Back in 2003, the UN General Assembly designated December 11 to be International Mountain Day. This day is to raise awareness about the importance of mountains. The theme this year is "Facing Change: Climate Change in Mountain Areas."

I don't know what the importance of mountains would be, but what I do know is that I am happy to live in a valley and to be surrounded by mountains. I think they are so beautiful to look at, and, for some reason, it makes me feel comforted when I am driving in my car and I can look up to see the mountains in any direction.

More info on Int'l Mountain Day can be found here.
